Baltimore media exposes election fraud

Kim Hairston, Baltimore Sun

While state prosecutors rightfully claimed credit for the conviction of Paul Schurick for his role in approving false robocalls on behalf of Bob Ehrlich's gubernatorial campaign, I think local media deserves just as much or more credit for creating a climate of shame in connection with the calls. As small a slice of Maryland political corruption as it might be, everyone in local media who reported and shamed the Ehrlich robocall campaign should be proud of their work in 2011.
